Abstract

Abstract: Pain post spinal cord injury (SCI) is treated clinically with drug and non-drug treatments, commonly including opioid analgesics, antiepileptics, antidepressants, acupuncture and moxibustion, stimulation therapy, surgical treatment, and so on. The effect of the drug treatment is obvious but following serious side effect; the non-drug treatment has small side effect and is safe and controllable, which has shown great development potential with the development of science and technology although the treatment effect is not certain.

Key words: spinal cord injury, pain, treatment, review
